The impact of operating lease on the balance sheet is limited, and the sharp rise in oil price has a negative impact.

The negative impact of operating leases is limited. The annual average price of Brent crude oil in 2021 was about $70.9/barrel, which was significantly higher than that in 2020 (US $43.0 / barrel), putting great pressure on the company’s operating costs. The company’s aviation fuel cost in 2021 increased by 53.1% year-on-year, accounting for about 21.2% of its main operating costs. Based on the above, the company’s main operating costs increased by 14.7% year-on-year in 2021, lower than the revenue growth in the same period. Affected by this, the company’s comprehensive gross profit margin for 21 years was about – 0.11%, with a year-on-year increase of 1.59pct; In 21 years, the company’s operating loss was about 793 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 44 million yuan.

Increase the size of the fleet and boost the profitability of the company. The company plans to increase 3.3 billion yuan for the introduction of aircraft and standby engine projects and the repayment of bank loans. After the raised funds are in place, the company’s transportation capacity and business scale will be effectively improved. The company’s 22-year fleet plans to increase by 7 aircraft, with a slight decline in growth rate. The expansion of the company’s fleet is conducive to improving the route operation ability and further improving the company’s profitability and industry competitiveness.

Investment suggestion: the epidemic situation outside China is repeated, the recovery of air passenger transport demand is negatively impacted, and the company’s short-term performance is under pressure; With the continuous advancement of covid-19 vaccine / treatment technology, the demand for air passenger transport will gradually recover, and the company will return to the growth track. Considering that the covid-19 epidemic lasted longer than expected, we lowered the company’s net profit forecast for 22-23 years to – 130 million yuan and + 1.05 billion yuan respectively (originally + 540 million yuan and + 1.13 billion yuan), adding 1.4 billion yuan to the 24-year forecast; Based on the company’s future fundamentals will gradually improve, maintain the company’s “overweight” rating.

Risk warning: the duration of covid-19 epidemic exceeded market expectations; The sharp decline of macro economy leads to the decline of industry demand; Sino US trade frictions continue to ferment, and the RMB exchange rate fluctuates greatly; Crude oil prices rose sharply.
